Oro Raises $3 Mn to Expand AI-Powered DeFi Platform Globally

Other investors included M2M Capital, Archer Capital and X21 Digital. Existing investors Disrupt.com and ZIGLabs also provided additional funding. With this new investment, Oro has raised $4 million in total.

Oro uses AI to turn users’ financial goals into multi-step transactions. Instead of manually using different decentralised finance (DeFi) platforms, users can simply describe what they want to do in plain language, and Oro creates the required transaction route.

The platform is designed to make complex financial tools easier for everyday users. All transactions remain non-custodial, meaning users keep control of their funds and must personally approve and sign each transaction. Oro will use the new funding to develop its technology and expand into global markets.

“Over the past 18 months, the Web3 landscape went through a market filter where projects without genuine utility quietly disappeared, but Oro thrived by proving that combining financial infrastructure with natural-language AI creates a product that mass-market users actually want,” said Varun Choudhary, Co-founder and CEO of Oro. “We are witnessing a monumental shift toward intent-based execution. This funding round proves that real, sustainable product-market fit backed by hundreds of thousands of active users will always attract top-tier institutional capital, giving us the exact runway needed to consolidate our first-mover advantage globally.”

“Oro is tackling one of the most persistent bottlenecks in modern finance: complexity,” added Keira Nesdale, Portfolio Manager at co-lead investor MH Ventures. “Their ability to abstract away backend friction while maintaining rigorous, policy-guarded non-custodial security makes them uniquely positioned to lead the agentic finance transition. We are thrilled to co-lead this round and support their vision for mass consumer adoption.”

“The team at Oro has demonstrated exceptional execution and organic user growth through challenging market cycles,” said Vijay Garg, Managing Partner at co-lead investor Mapleblock Capital. “By establishing a seamless bridge between natural-language user intent and protocol execution, Oro is setting the standard for how everyday users and enterprises will interact with digital assets moving forward.”

Founded in 2024 by Varun Choudhary, Oro uses AI to understand financial instructions written in everyday language. The platform turns these instructions into multi-step transactions across different decentralised finance (DeFi) protocols.

Oro is designed to keep users in control of their funds. Its non-custodial model means users authorise and approve transactions themselves instead of giving Oro control over their assets.
